Agenda
What Does It Take to Be an Effective, Flourishing Catholic Leader?
Host: Fr. Tom Lynch
Info: At this year’s Catholic Moms Group Leaders Summit, Fr. Tom will challenge and inspire leaders to embrace the courage of authentic Catholic leadership by looking to Our Blessed Mother as the perfect model of motherhood, relying first on God’s grace rather than their own strength, and leading with the conviction that transforms lives. What does it take?
Too often, Catholic Moms Group leaders can become coordinators rather than leaders. A coordinator organizes calendars. A leader forms hearts. A coordinator asks, “Did the meeting run smoothly?” A leader asks, “Are women growing in holiness?”
The Art of Hospitality and Social Graces
Host: Adeodata Czink
Info: Adeodata will entertain and educate us about making a first impression, hospitality, mingling, and meeting etiquette. As Catholic Moms Group Leaders, the way we welcome a new mom, introduce her to others, and help her feel included can make all the difference in whether she feels she belongs and wants to return. Along the way, you may even pick up a few practical tips to pass on to your own children. And who knows? You may even be inspired to invite Adeodata to speak at one of your own Moms Group meetings!
More Than an Icon: The Story and Spirituality of Our Lady of Częstochowa
Host: Fr. Jonasz Lalik OMI
Info: Who is the mysterious Black Madonna of Częstochowa, and why has she captured the hearts of millions of Catholics? Discover the fascinating history, symbolism, spirituality and miracles surrounding this beloved image of Mother Mary. Why is it important that Catholic Moms Group has been consecrated to Our Lady of Częstochowa, and what does that mean for our ministry and our mission to revive the vocation of motherhood? What can she teach us about motherhood, discipleship, perseverance and the call to leadership in our parish communities?
